WHEAT MOVEMENT.
The following are the receipts and shin
mentS of wheat to-day reported by Pressev


In conversation with A. Bailey, jolly cit
zen OF Duluth, he said receipts up his way
We're light and there was not much doing
me town, he said, was i'll an awful condi-
uon, the streets cut up, laying sewers and
gas piping, grading other streets and con-
fusion worse COMPOUNDED all round, but this
was the penalty of all new cities, and Du-
luth he remarked, would emerge handsome
and beautiful out of the annoyances that
now yex her citizens.
f. l.. Greenleaf, vice president, called the
chamber to order at the noon hour, and in
lew brief words made motion to adjourn
the sale of the table privileges for another,
which was unanimously adopted. Some fun
is promised when this event comes off.
The boys that run with dispatches are
bright little fellows, one in particular. They
vault the benches and hop over chairs as
spry as Jump Jim Crow, but they should be
put III uniforms or made to dress better, as
they have very ragged appearance.

There was no session in New York city on
account of the great labor celebration in the
metropolis, and this had its effect more or
less all over the markets.
A circular from Lindblom appeared in the
usual place yesterday, but it was dated the
Sd, and therefore there was nothing new
in it.
When in town, another busy man to be
seen here and there and everywhere is Mr..
Norton, of the Red River Elevator company.
The granger element was we'll represented
on the floor yesterday; the Exposition, with
business combined. was the reason.
A prominent figure on the floor is M. W.
IerXa and he always looks like business, for
he is invariably in his shirt sleeves.
The week opened very dull in local trad
ing. Receipts were plentiful enough, but
the wheat was mostly damp.
A telegram from Chicago said the wheat
pit was deserted down there and only mod
crate demand in corn
One solitary member of the fair sex adorned
the gallery, and cast pretty glancos on the
SWANS below.
Samples of wheat were very numerous on
the tables yesterday.
